About Goldendoodles

Brief History: A Goldendoodle is a cross between a Poodle and a Golden Retriever. The Goldendoodle is a wonderful family pet. They are fun loving, happy, love people, adore children and other pets. They love to take part in family activities, such as camping, hiking/walking, swimming ect.... ​​What are the Goldendoodle generations?If you are new to the doodle world, you are probably a little confused by all the terminology. F1's, F2's, F1B's, F2B's, multigens, etc.....Genetics can be confusing to say the least so if you would like more info than what you find on our site, I would be happy to talk with you.F1 is a term used when a Golden Retriever is bred to a Poodle. The Poodle can be either standard or miniature or even toy sized. This will give you 50% Poodle and 50% Golden Retriever. They can have various coat types from straight to curly. This generation has a higher risk of shedding, but some do not shed. When they do shed, most shed lightly and some shed moderately. They do not shed as bad as the Golden Retriever.F1B are an F1 Goldendoodle X Poodle. This will give you 75% Poodle and 25% Golden Retriever. This coat is non shedding, like the poodle. F1B doodles coats range from the soft curls to the straight hair, however all reports from adoptive parents have reported non-shed. This is great because it means they shed so little that you don't even notice it. The coat on our doodles remains soft even when loose curls are present. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I CAN NOT GUARANTEE COAT TYPE, SHEDDING, OR ADULT LOOKS WHEN YOU ADOPT A PUPPY. nor should any breeder!F2 are a F1 Goldendoodle X F1 Goldendoodle. This breeding gives a very unpredictable mix for the coat and so we have decided not to do this breeding.F1BB F1b Goldendoodle bred back to a Poodle, this will mostly be poodle. we do not breed F1BB due to to the fact it is all poodle.

Goldendoodle Size Standard size 45lbs and upMedium size 30 to 45lbsMiniature size 15 to 30lbs Because Goldendoodles are a hybrid, the weight for any generation is only an estimate. Goldendoodles can be smaller or larger than the estimated weight.

WHAT IS AN ENGLISH CREAM OR TEDDY BEAR GOLDENDOODLE Mean?The English Cream Goldendoodle gets it's heritage from the European Golden Retriever lines instead of American Golden Retriever lines. Both European and American's are full bred Golden Retrievers, but there are differences in the lines that have been bred. This is due to the AKC standards in breeding vs the UKC or European standards in breeding. When breeding for show a breeder tries to breed parent dogs that will produce the "look" that the show ring requires for each breed. Since the UKC standard is different than the AKC, the look of the English Cream Golden is different than the American. Basically they are more stocky in build with a more square head, a broader nose, and shorter legs. They carry a bit more weight and are not as "lanky" as the Americans. They also allow a broader spectrum of color in the UKC ring. Thus you have the beautiful ultra light cream color. The name "Teddy Bear" Goldendoodle comes from the adorable teddy bear look that is produced from breeding with the European lines.They have the same mellow,loyal, happy go lucky, happy to be with you, of the golden, and the quick smarts, highly intuitive, sensitivity, of the poodle , A calmer more easy going temperament, A thicker more dense coat. Shorter legs, a broader head, a shorter broader nose, and a stockier more dense chest and body build. This gives the Goldendoodle a much more balanced look when combined with the long legged, long nosed, sleek poodle. The "Teddy Bear" look.

WHAT ABOUT GROOMING? Goldendoodles do need to be groomed. Some more than others, and some need clipped more often than others. It depends on the type of coat your Goldendoodle has. You should have them groomed about every four to six weeks, with a good brushing at least once a week. I find that a great time to brush out our Goldendoodles is in the evening while watching my favorite TV show. I also recommend that you purchase a good brush, recommended by your groomer to get out matts.

WHAT ABOUT COLORS? Goldendoodles come in a variety of colors. This is because poodles come in a variety of colors. The following are just some of the colors you may find in a goldendoodle as well:Various shades of cream from the ultra light to a dark cream almost a champagne color, various shades of apricot, red, black, brown, cafe au lait, blue, silver, silver beige, mismarked (abstract), sable, phantom, parti, and variations of these colors as well. As you can see, the poodle and the goldendoodle can come in just about any color you have ever seen in a dog! ​
